some anthropologists believe that the genetic homogeneity evident in the world's people is the result of a "population bottleneck"--at some time in the past our ancestors suffered an event, greatly reducing their numbers and thus our genetic variation.
（A） at some time in the past our ancestors suffered an event, greatly reducing their numbers
（B） that at some time in the past our ancestors suffered an event that greatly reduced their numbers
（C） that sometime in the past our ancestors suffered an event so that their numbers were greatly reduced
（D） some time in the past our ancestors suffered an event from which their numbers were greatly reduced
（E） some time in the past, that our ancestors suffered an event so as to reduce their numbers greatly,
有没有大牛可以解答一下为什么不能omit that啊？如果真的加了破折号再加that表示平行结构，那么破折号在这里又是什么作用呢

谢谢你！

1）先回答你的问题。--后面确实是对前面的解释，所以要parallel平行结构，关键是理解是对前面什么的解释，根据意思后面提到了suffer导致数量继而gene，所以是对前面believe that xxx中xx的解释，而不是名词population botteneck。所以句子结构是subject + believe that --- xxx，所以xx必须是和believe后面的that从句parallel。
2）考试中不一定有时间意思到这点，可以排除法。
A的结构为ancestors suffered an event， greatly reducingxxx, GMAC中认为reducing是对前面主语的解释而不是event，修饰对象错误。
C, D 中numbers were reduced and genetic variation 错误
E，so as to 没有这个目的的意思
